Berry Tramel hints pretty strongly that Big Game Bob cut a deal with Dorial Green-Beckham that the kid would indeed play a season with Oklahoma before going pro. Of course, there’s not really much Stoops could do other than complain if Green-Beckham reneged.

Cringeworthy comment from Bobby Petrino: “With the experiences I’ve had, I can help young men with the obstacles they are going to be presented with off the field, with the situations that are going to come up; to be able to help them and give them a second chance.”

Re: the Saban comments…I think there was one player in particular that started the mud slinging. That particular player called out the young uns and the young uns bucked up and said he wasn’t much of a leader.

I think the Saban comments are aimed at that and I don’t have a problem with it.

BD. I like you. What is the best Bama blog? Lookin forward to playing you guys in BD. My daughter is a bama grad with season tickets I got when she was there and I transferred them to her. Best tailgaiting ever on Quad.

Petrino has some balls on him–cringe worthy is right. I saw Bobby talking about Grantham being an “expert” last night. I cringed then too. If by expert he means ‘getting the defense to run around like a Benny Hill sketch pre-snap’, he is right on the money.

As for Big Game Bob’s move, I think that is a reasonable bet, he just may get a year out of DGB. I know he was the #1 rated receiver coming out of HS two years ago but he wasn’t even the number 1 receiver on Mizzou’s team last yet. I don’t think in his two years there he showed he was a top round NFL draft choice, perhaps showed the potential to be that, but combined with his character issues he may need a year at OU to show he belongs among the elite. I saw a lot of receivers that looked better than him in CFB the last two years.

I just hope the NCAA makes him sit out a year, cannot think of a reason they are even considering not following the rules of transfer.

“When asked about Louisville this week, Jimbo Fisher, Dabo Swinney and Al Golden were among those who praised Petrino on Monday” at the World’s Smallest Media Daze because everybody knows gentlemen prefer blondes.

Jonathan Taylor, say hello to Bobby Petrino. You have something in common with him. Check the boxes for character and class.
Most interesting article with historical table of Ds re conferences and early players leaving SEC for NFL plus the teams going to no huddle, hurry-up O’s, and the spread offense. Will agree with most of that. But there was no footnote for Dawgs’ D coaching the past 2 years and players suspended and dismissed from the roster. Surely, that ante the percentage up a bit.
